TOO LATE TO WANT ME 047| He is a murderer!
~MATT~I looked up at Cassian standing at the top of the stairs.The moment I saw him, I felt disgust wash over me, stealing the air from my lungs.The memories I had spent years trying to bury came rushing back.We had once been inseparable.Our families belonged to the same elite circle, and we grew up doing everything together.But the corporate world changed him.The real rift between us began five years ago.After an incident, Cassian locked his heart behind walls no one could break through.He became cold and ruthless. He became so consumed by power.And the only thing that mattered to him were stocks, profits, and numbers.The friend I once knew was gone. And in his place stood a dangerous rival.I couldn't stand the sight of him.And now, he was standing right in front of my ex-wife."Are you doing this for revenge, Cassian?" I yelled, my voice shaking with rage. "Is this your sick way of getting back at me? Do you want to snatch my wife just to prove you are more powerful?"C
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 046| Cassian and Matt
~MATT~I drove like a madman.My hands were gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white.Corporate espionage.The word kept ringing in my ears like a death sentence.Olivia had planted that stolen Wilson Group drive right inside Tyla's private desk.When my car finally swerved into the parking lot of the Aegis Tech building, I threw my door open and ran inside.The lobby was quiet, but I could feel the tension in the air.I rushed to the main desk.When I asked to see Tyla, the receptionist said she wasn’t around.I clenched my jaw.I asked to see Vincent instead, but the secretary told me he wasn’t available either.Desperate, I pushed past the barrier and met his primary assistant in the hallway."Where is she?" I demanded, catching my breath. "Where did the police take Tyla Avery?"He looked completely uninterested in my panic, but he responded flatly. “They didn't take her, sir. Mr. Cassian Virell came into the office. He blocked the arrest on the spot and he took
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 045| Grandma Wilson’s Trap
~CASSIAN~The policemen stood frozen in shock.For a moment, they were completely speechless before hastily leaving the office and rushing toward the elevator.I lowered my gaze to Tyla.Her face had gone pale, and her fingers were still tightly clutching the small gift box Elowen had brought her.She was trying to appear composed, but the slight tremble of her shoulders betrayed her.She must have been terrified and humiliated. If I hadn't arrived in time, they would have taken her away."We're leaving," I said.I didn't give her a chance to argue because I knew she wouldn't want to go with me.I guided Tyla and Elowen out of the Aegis Tech building and into the back seat of my SUV.Elowen immediately climbed onto the leather seat beside Tyla and wrapped her little arms around her waist again."Don't worry, Tyla," she said softly. "My daddy is very strong. Nobody can hurt you when he's here."Tyla gave my daughter a weak smile before turning to stare out the window as I drove.Her vo
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 044| Arresting Tyla
~TYLA~Vincent and the team had gone downstairs to get some coffee, leaving me alone in my private room at the company.But I couldn't focus on anything because every time I looked at my computer screen, my heart felt heavy.The company had never encountered an issue like this before, and somehow my return seemed to have triggered it.At least, that was what everyone on the board believed.They didn't stop to think rationally or consider everything I had contributed since joining the company.All they cared about was the company's success and whoever could deliver it.When I first came here, they had trusted me and given me the chance to prove myself.Now, that trust had crumbled so easily, and they expected me to prove myself all over again.The pressure from yesterday and today had been too much for me to bear alone without breaking down.So, I had already texted Cassian to let him know I wouldn't be available today because I needed all the time I could get to rewrite the missing co
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 043| To destroy Tyla Avery
~MATT~Another message entered. It was from my secret informant who I hired to keep an eye on Tyla.My eyes fixed on the message as I read.Aegis Tech is falling apart because someone had broken into their servers at noon and deleted five months' worth of important codes and project files.The company was in serious trouble, and the board members were already discussing removing Tyla from her position assuming her negligence was the cause.I stared at the message. I didn’t understand how I was feeling.Why did it feel so wrong to see her suffer?Wasn't this what I wanted?I had always believed she was an ambitious woman who trapped me. But seeing her about to lose everything didn't make me happy.Instead, it left me feeling empty.I rubbed my tired eyes and headed downstairs to get a glass of water.The house was completely quiet. The maids had gone home, Grandma didn’t stay at the villa and Olivia had left much earlier after the shopping spree.But as I walked through the upstairs ha
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 042| I want my Mummy
~MATT~I walked toward the living room and stopped at the entrance.Olivia was sitting on the rug near the sofa. She was surrounded by a number of colourful shopping bags.She had also bought an expensive remote-control car and was pushing it toward Kenny."Look how fast it goes, Kenny!" Olivia said. "If you like it, we can go to the store tomorrow and buy the matching racetrack. What do you think Kenny?”Kenny was sitting quietly on the rug with his legs crossed.He looked at the shiny plastic toy, then up at her.However, he didn’t look excited, he just nodded politely with a small smile."Thank you, Aunt Olivia," Kenny said quietly as he held the toy car.Olivia furrowed her brows but she immediately ignored it.She shifted closer to him, reaching out to ruffle his hair.I noticed Kenny flinch away from her touch, leaning his small body back toward the sofa.He wasn’t like this towards Olivia before but even so, he was still being polite, just like Tyla had always taught him to be
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 022| Under Fire
~TYLA~The other members in the conference room seemed to be quite shocked at Cassian and his choice of sitting, but they couldn’t question him.On the seat where he sat, the man who was supposed to sit there seemed to receive a signal from Cassian, and he quickly moved to sit at the edge of the ta
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 019| Something is Slipping Away
~OLIVIA~Matt was standing outside in the evening air.He seemed a million miles away and that has been that way ever since the gala.I picked up a cup of warm tea and walked out to the terrace. Matt didn't even turn around when I approached."Matt, darling," I said sweetly, placing the cup on the
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 018| The Call
~TYLA~It was time to focus. I pulled my chair closer, resting my chin in my hand as I scrolled through the old Project Genesis databases.I had been terrified that five years away would make me rusty but to my surprise, the moment my fingers touched the keyboard, the old muscle memory kicked right
TOO LATE TO WANT ME 017| Welcome Back
~TYLA~Vincent was already waiting for me near the elevators, holding two cups of coffee.The moment his eyes landed on me, he smiled and approached me."Look at you," he said, carefully handing me a cup. "You look like the boss you were always meant to be."I took a sip. I was a bit nervous but th
